a passion for angling

tiny rewards

Some rain and heavy winds have livened things up recently. Pike seemed to be absent throughout the months of October and November. Water levels in ponds and rivers were on a summer low, paired with extreme clarity. Highlights so far are a 3.5 pound chub on a 15cm soft shad and two pike to 83cm taken on Big Bandit and giant Sandra. Yesterday I blanked completely with dead roach and sardine although fishing 4 different spots throughout the day. It can only get better!
